Thanks Robert, very interesting - if you live close to this tree - if you could check it out when you can over the next week before about 8.30am in the morning or after 6pm at night that would be fantastic, as you may catch chicks poking their heads out or you may even hear their chirping away inside the hollow

Will do Michael. Would chicks be around at this time of year?
There are often Gang-Gangs around these trees, I just haven't taken photos with my phone very often.

thanks Robert - chicks have been fledgling for the last two weeks - probably nearing end of season. I think Gang gangs like to nest near each other so if you see any adults entering or leaving hollows in the vicinity if you could take a picture and place onto Canberra Nature map that would be great - even if you have to go back and just photograph the tree.
